How to become a DAD

or how to install the package on your system

To install dad on your system you should check to have a system running either Ultrix,OSF,IRIX,SunOS, Linux'95,-) or even VMS (5.0 or later). If you are running on a Unix system not mentioned in this list you are not lost completely but have to look through the installation scripts a little.

To install dad you first have to get it. Either click on this WWW-LINK to receive the complete tar archive or get from the hermes PCFarm on the directory /hermes/pro/dad. If you get the compressed archive you have to unpack it its own directory so you do:

$ ls dad.tar.gz
dad.tar.gz

$ mkdir dad
$ cd dad
$ gunzip < ../dad.tar.gz | tar xvf -

for the uncompressed case you type:

$ ls dad.tar
dad.tar

$ mkdir dad
$ cd dad
$ tar xvf ../dad.tar

The installation procedure requires some environment variables to be set. However on a standard system it will succeed without them.

HERMES_TOP: The top-level directory containing all hermes and non-hermes software. Usually /hermes .
HERMES_ROOT: The source tree of the desired version of the hermes software. Usually /hermes/pro .

Dad configuration also assumes, you have the cfortran package (downloadable here) installed in $HERMES_ROOT/include and also a correct version of adamo.h (also in $HERMES_ROOT/include).

If you installed gnu make on your system then simply type

make

to generate dad on your system. Without gnu make you are not lost. You simply have to start with

configure
make

to get it run. If compilation succeds you can consider to install the libraries and the program pager in the $HERMES_ROOT environment. So simply type

make install
